Now — 2025
Updated
25 June 2025
It has been a prolific year so far — writing, making, generating. But through it all, observing.
As I age, the more certain I become that my primary purpose is to be an observer; the theme of my life is seeing to understand. As devoted as I am to many other people and things, and as committed as I am to directly contributing to their well-being, their success, and their goodness, I sense that the purpose of my life is not to be seen, but to see.
